  • Probably this is because you're not closing the file. In SKILL (as in many other languages), writing ASCII files is buffered (for efficiency reasons) so that it doesn't flush to disk until the buffer is full (or when the file is closed).

    So two choices:

    1. Call close(out) at the end (in fact you should do this anyway to avoid having lots of open file handles lying around)
    2. If you want the output to update more frequently (for example, so that you can see the file contents during a loop where running the simulations takes some time), you can flush the buffers by calling drain(out)

    Regards,

    Andrew.
